Hugh Cornwell on how the drummer has the best seat in the house

Hugh Cornwell is preparing for his “All The Fun Of The Fair” tour which begins in November and here he talks to David Hepworth about:

….why rehearsals are best in bursts

….why he no longer carries keyboards

….the special magic of going to see Chuck Berry with Richard Thompson

….how the two of them have recorded “Tobacco Road” for an Alzheimers benefit record

…being at the Marquee when Clapton, Beck and Page all played with the Yardbirds

….playing the Golders Green Ionic with Helen Shapiro

….how there are nights when the guitarist think it’s been a disaster but the drummer knows it’s been a triumph
